Keep in mind that most of people are not going to do your job especially, if
your task is explained in FAQs and docs available for you.

I have no idea why you avoid the FAQ and ready-made examples, if you're a
newbie. What you ask to do is done in 5 minutes from the scratch.

Apply your source to this and you're done...

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "allegro.h"

/*
   This makes VGA and VESA 1.2 (256 colored) modes available only,
   no digital sound and midi music, no joystic and thus smaller EXE.

int main()

   /* set VGA graphics mode 13h (sized 320x200) */
   set_gfx_mode(GFX_VGA, 320, 200, 0, 0);

   /* set the black pallete */
   set_pallete(black_pallete);

   /* write some text to the screen */
   textout_centre(screen, font, "Hello, world!", SCREEN_W/2, SCREEN_H/2,
255);

   /* wait for a keypress */
   readkey();

   /* fade in from current (black) palette to specified */
   fade_in (desktop_pallete, 4);

   /* wait for a keypress */
   readkey();

   /* fade out from current palette to black */
   fade_out (4);

   return 0;
}
